Hi, my daughter is 11, soon 12, and has been diagnosed with T1 for 9 months. She is doing really well with managing her diabetes, both in day and night time. She is on a 640G pump with enlite sensors, and have recently stopped waking me up in the night for "routine" treatment and just takes care of it herself.
She has started secondary school this month, and has been invited to her first sleepover with a new friend. I know that she can handle it practically, but obviously the parents need to know about the diabetes. How much information should we give? I'm thinking of treatment with glucagon and ketones. Is it reasonable to ask them to take the responsibility? I don't want to "scare" them, so they don't want to have her over, on the other hand I can't just be quiet.
I very much want her to just be like other children, and with sport etc we have managed it, though it is of course not as easy as it used to be.
Any experiences, thoughts, or just general comments?
Thanks
